    Extremely excited for the BBC's upcoming adaptation of His Dark Materials (ft. Lin-Manuel Miranda!)

    Tilda Swinton was in that movie. Never saw it. There was a big bear as well.

    I haven't seen it either.

    knapplc- I think you may be thinking of the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Nicole Kidman was in the Golden Compass.

    USWNT 1-0 England to take the 2018 #SheBelieves Cup! Way to go! :D

    It's a bit ironic that this is the next status after Teach's  status about the possible issues facing a former athlete of the opposite gender of the players they're coaching, with little or no relevant experience, and being scrutinized for it. I know it's too early to tell if Neville is a good hire or not, but it seems to be working out so far.

    I dunno...yes, they won, and it's great, but the offense has looked more than suspect these past few matches, and I honestly haven't been the biggest fan of Ellis' body of work with the USWNT. 

    I just hope they get stuff together the next year or so, since World Cup is coming up in 2019.

    I think men coaching women's sports is actually really common. I had to look up who you were talking about, though  :P

    Hey, I'm just happy to see a W here. Last year they ended up in last place. And there are some really exciting young players coming up for the next generation of stars (Pugh runs so hard!) What can I say, my fandom is pretty uncritical.

    Coach Pops continues to be such an inspiring voice and model of leadership in sports. Such class!

    Ah, I see. I guess I don't follow the NBA nearly close enough to be aware of anything other than Pop's commentary on broader social issues. 

    Are private role models any better than public role models? I think all that's needed is some realism when it comes to models. They aren't unimpeachable, but there are specific things about them that we can find very admirable. Sometimes they themselves don't live up to the stands they set. Such is human, and we (may) change our views on them accordingly. 

    Something I really appreciate about Pop is how effectively he can reach such a broad spectrum of people. It's his unique position as a powerful figure in sports. He (and Steve Kerr) can say the same things that, say, if it were some young minority journalist penning an op-ed for HuffPo they might be reflexively attacked as some kind of SJW.

    Pop's position commands respect from those same people, and he's using it to provide really valuable leadership. He shows that you can be someone in his shoes and "get it", in what appears to be a thorough and heartfelt way.

    Pop is a clown. And his best player tim Duncan is a clown also.

    Pop's (very political) statements on broader social issues are dumb too.

    Does a win tonight mean Coach Smiles & Team are going dancing?

    With the win tonight I think we're in.  No matter what happens in NYC.  /jmho

    Considering we had folks from the selection committee in attendance at the Nebraska/Penn State game (and the same folks at the Kansas game), I think as long as we either win or make the Michigan game come down to the wire (assuming they get by the Illinios/Iowa winner), we're in. 

    Honestly, we should already be in as-is. We just don't have the name cache for basketball that other B1G schools have...but here's hoping this wasn't a one-year fluke again, and SMiles can actually build on this success for next year.

    Off-topic: I love 'The Weeds', one of the Vox podcasts. Matt Yglesias is one of my favorite commentators on Twitter, and from his picture I definitely did not expect his voice to be....uh, that high. It's so amusing to listen to him talk, especially when he gets really animated. Smart, funny, excitable dude :P

    He is funny, great sense of humor and does a good job even laughing at himself.

    Woah! Is this the first ever early signing day? Grats to the newest Huskers!

    Me either.  I couldn’t figure out how signing could work without a designated sign day?

    @ladyhawkeThey meant verbal commitment, like the kid a few years ago who committed to USC(to Lane Kiffen) in like 7th grade.  It's getting younger and younger every year even if it means absolutely nothing at the time other than some free publicity.

    "The tall Death Eater was wearing a shirt that said 'Hermione Has Forgotten How to Dance', so Hermione dipped his face in the mud"

    "They looked at the door, screaming about how closed it was and asking it to be replaced with a small orb. The password was "BEEF WOMEN", Hermione cried.

    "ticking yore bass" and all other more sensible rhymes non-poet Tim Miles could have come up with for "kicking your a$$". C'mon Coach, sticking blur glass?

    How are people going to afford to go get doctorates? :( I completely do not see how it's going to be possible, unless you're already quite wealthy (or have no choice but to be poor)

    Good thing you found yourself a sugar momma Zoo.  I've said jokingly recently that one of the criteria for me and dating would be that a man have health insurance ... not joking about it anymore.  It will be as important as being kind, loving football, having a full mouth of decent teeth and making me laugh.

    @jaws, I think that really glosses over how much of a difference this tax bill makes. Taxing people who are living on 10-30k stipends as if they made 40-60k more than that is not "hey just another log on the fire".

    My apologies everyone, but it would be best to move this conversation to the Politics & Religion forum. Thank you.
